High precision CNC machining requires precision alloys. The 300 series handles machining very well and can be cold worked to enhance their hardenability. This results in a steel that can withstand high temperatures and still maintain its strength.
Common Uses for 300 Series Stainless Steel Alloy
Alloys in the 300 series are used in a diverse range of applications across many industries. Some of the most common include the following:
- Construction
- Automotive
- Aerospace
